Find SD card path for android

My phone has its SD card path named as "/storage/external_SD"

But I hear different phone manufacturers name their paths differently. Like SD_card , externalMemory etc..

I am developing an app that opens the SD card contents when a filechooser is opened.

How can I set a path to open when different brands name their sd card paths differently ?
